antixcc>network>wicd reconnect by hand for now.

Or log back out and back in. Not sure why you connection is not restarting when you open the lid yet.

Intel wireless. Never been a problem for me.

Code: Select all

~$ inxi -N
Network:   Card-1: Intel 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection driver: e1000e
           Card-2: Intel WiFi Link 5100 driver: iwlwifi
Probably a startup config glitch that I do not know about. From lid switch what ever text file.

does wireless come back after a reboot?

a couple of things to try:

1. from root terminal, try issuing ifconfig eth0 down then ifconfig eth0 up. a

2. make sure in wicd (if that is what you are using) that"automatically connect" is enabled in the connection manager for the particular network.

this is the key:

Code: Select all

  Hard blocked: yes
somewhere there is a switch, either physical or in bios, and its been flipped/disabled. I've seen some machines that will actually disable the wireless in bios when a key combo is pressed. something similiar might have occured when you went into suspend. I would check the bios of the machine.

well somehow its been blocked on the hardware level. I don't think any of the network managers are going to be able to see it until the hard block is resolved.

have you tried disconnecting the wired interface and rebooting?

I couldn't find a/the thread you started about your multimedia keys problem. The solution is to install and use either xbindkeys or xbindkeys-config. The first is command line and the second is GUI. There should be lots of info on how to use these on the web.

Some keys are easy to implement. Others may be difficult or even impossible. Some laptops enable the keys via hardware so they work regardless of the OS running. Others implement all or some of the keys via software and for that you need xbindkeys. You use it to cause a program to get run whenever a certain key gets pressed. Again, there are instructions for this on the web.

Each new problem should have its own thread, that way it is easier for others to find the solution.
